Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Shellder from the Sun and Moon Pokemon Card Set. Shellder is a Basic, Water type Pokemon card with a HP of 60. It has a x2 weakness to Grass type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two Colorless Energy card retreat cost. Shellder does not have an Ability and it only has one move. Its only move is called Tackle, for one Colorless Energy card this move does 10 damage.
Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Shellder is a Basic Pokemon card with a Stage 1 evolution in Cloyster, which I'll be reviewing tomorrow, you'll more than likely want to use this card with that Pokemon. However, since I haven't reviewed that card yet, I'll just act as though I plan on using this card without its evolution. So, on its own, although this card could be used as a starter type Pokemon in any type deck since it can attack for one Colorless Energy card, I would pass on using this card in a deck without also using Cloyster. The main reason I say this is because of Shellder's retreat cost, in which the amount of Energy cards required to retreat is higher than the amount to attack. Plus, later in games, doing only 10 damage a turn won't do much.
Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating. So in my opinion, on its own, without considering Cloyster, this is a below average Basic Pokemon card. Although this card has a solid HP, and one quick move, because it is very limited in what it can do and has a higher retreat cost, especially for a Basic Pokemon that can evolve, I would not recommend using this card in a deck.
